They will be in $_GET

The value:

Will be in the variable:
$_GET["search_id"]

I wrote a CGI library for C++ that does what you want. If you want it, click the following link:

http://www.restorides.com/~nerd/libc...cgi-1.0.tar.gz

Its actually a whole library for anything you want to do in CGI.

You need a HTML form, PHP is not needed to have such an URL.
You can use PHP to use the information in the URL.
See: http://www.php.net/manual/en/tutorial.forms.php for some (a little terse) information.
Use method="get" instead of method="post" as on that page.
then use $_GET['name'] instead of $_POST['name'] in PHP to use the info from the URL.
